Okay, I was hedging last night... but I overcame my insecurities and fears and went out to the PPP anyway, despite feeling like I'd be only marginally welcome. Told myself that while the feelings were real, they probably didn't reflect *reality*.
And I'm glad to have done so -- I had a very good time, and left feeling relaxed and loved and generally well-centered. So, more progress. :)
It was fun to circulate and visit... I was pleased to meet
lynne_laughs from my LJ list. And spent my first time reconnecting with
p3aches since she had the baby, six weeks ago (cute!). Received lots of hugs and cuddles and a few delightful kisses... hung out with
tenacious_snail at times despite her becoming a Dreaded Authority Figure (red glowy headband, which I made her remove before kissing ;).
Clean-up, then staying late... lots of light from a full moon. (grin)
Only downside was that I got home late, and without a cellphone
patgreene was worried...
